<p>Dear NRHC Family,</p>

<p>Sunday was a great day in the life of NRHC! Thank you for working together to make more 
room for more people to hear, see, and respond to the gospel. Our staff and ministry teams 
did an incredible job preparing for and serving on Sunday as we launched a third morning 
worship service. By God's grace, we welcomed more adults than any Sunday since Easter. 
Thank you for praying, serving, and inviting!</p>

<p>Also, thanks for your patience in the parking lot, especially between the 9:45 and 
11:00 services. That is when we have the most people and cars on campus at the same 
time. Carl Morton and our Guest Services team have developed some improved plans 
for this Sunday that will hopefully help that transition run a little more smoothly. <b>If you get in a 
parking lot jam, just thank God for all the people He is bringing to hear, see, and respond to 
the gospel!</b></p>

<p>As we continue in our new series, The Story, I encourage you to continue inviting friends and 
coming each Sunday with great expectation for God to do mighty things as we walk through 
the Bible. I'm looking forward to continuing the journey this Sunday as we look at Creation in 
the early chapters of Genesis.</p>

<p>Beginning Sunday and carrying on through the series, we're going to cover big chunks of 
scripture each Sunday. We're going to cover some big ideas, too, that will help us connect 
the dots of The Story together. I don't want you to miss a key point or a key passage of 
scripture. So, I want to encourage you to have 2 things with you each Sunday:</p>

<ol>
<li><b>A pen and a journal.</b> Bring something to write with and something to write on. Write down 
the things that really speak to you. Write down scripture references, key verses, and main 
thoughts. Write down the questions you have that you want to pursue during the week.</li>

<li><b>A copy of the Bible.</b> Having a copy of God's Word in front of you is so helpful. Whether it's 
an electronic or print version, you'll want your own copy of God's Word to have with you on 
Sundays and with you during the week. If you don't have a copy of God's Word, let us know 
and we will be glad to give you one.</li>
</ol>

<p>Also, make sure you pay attention to the eNews each week as we will make you aware of 
resources that will help you continue processing and digging into The Story throughout the 
week.</p>

<p>I'm really excited about this series - I believe God is going to do great things in and through 
our faith family as we walk through His Story...The Story.
Can't wait to see you Sunday!</p>

<p>Until All Hear,<br> Jay</p>
